What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study examines the relationship between yoga practice and socioemotional functioning, comparing practitioners and non-practitioners across dimensions of emotional intelligence and social relationship patterns. Results indicate that yoga practitioners reported higher levels of emotion understanding and emotion control, but lower cognitive empathy and lower levels of support given to friends. A moderation analysis showed that yoga practice moderated the association between empathy and life satisfaction: empathy positively predicted life satisfaction in non-practitioners but not in regular practitioners. These associations suggest that greater intrapersonal emotional regulation among practitioners co-occurs with lower levels of interpersonal overinvolvement. As mindfulness was not measured, mechanistic interpretations remain tentative. These findings may have implications for interventions aimed at supporting emotional competencies and relational functioning, but causal claims require longitudinal investigation. The study contributes to understanding how yoga practice is associated with emotional and social functioning while proposing new directions for research on individualized effects of mind-body practices.
